"3000 BC to 2016 AD in 20 seconds..."

I've always felt that if I didn't do animation, I would have loved to be a historian! I had the time of my life working on this piece, as part of my "job" involved me watching hours of documentaries on ancient Egypt, Greece, Italy (which are my personal favourite historical periods) and creating a visual narrative that connected these (and many other cultures) together.

The focus was on human progress- how have we as a human race evolved over the past 5000 years? The everyday aspects of life- where we live, what we eat, how we communicate, what clothes we wear, the technology we use etc...

Here is the Animatic that I pitched to Knowledge Network after I received the brief from them.
